This Friday is the first day of summer. So the website Wallet Hub just released its annual list of the best and worst states to take a summer road trip. They base it on 33 different metrics, like traffic, gas prices, number of attractions, quality of the roads and the weather. And this year, North Carolina took down Wyoming to snag the top spot.
Three new states also made the top ten: Virginia in 4th, Oregon in 8th, and Wisconsin in 10th place.
The top ten states to take a summer road trip in 2019 are:
North Carolina
Wyoming
Minnesota
Virginia
Texas
New York
Louisiana
Oregon
Utah
Wisconsin.
Rhode Island finished dead last again. Probably because it's only 37 miles wide.
The ten worst road trip states this year are: Rhode Island . . . Delaware . . . Connecticut . . . Hawaii . . . Arkansas . . . Indiana . . . Kansas . . . Mississippi . . . Alabama . . . and Montana.
